On the homepage of the Flutter app I have a button to upload a file pdf and read it and get the text
SizedBox(
width: double.infinity,
child: ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () async {
final result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(allowMultiple: false);
// if no file is picked
if (result == null) return;
print(result.files.first.path);
if(result.files.first.bytes != null){
print('+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++');
getPDFtext(result.files.first.bytes).then((value) => {
print(value)
});
}
},
child: const Text('Get Text'),
),
),
Future<String> getPDFtext(Uint8List? uint8List) async {
String text = "";
try {
PdfDocument document = PdfDocument(inputBytes: uint8List);
PdfTextExtractor extractor = PdfTextExtractor(document);
text = extractor.extractText();
} on PlatformException {
print('Failed to get PDF text.');
}
return text;
}
